About us
Southern Software is a Queenstown-based software development agency that helps ambitious businesses turn complex ideas into practical, scalable digital products.
​
We specialise in solving niche problems for non-technical clients, the kind of projects that need clear thinking, smart design, and dependable execution. Every engagement begins with a detailed plan covering system requirements, architecture, technology choices, timelines, and budgets — because clarity and accountability matter as much as code.
​
Our team has built products across industries from aviation and public safety to agriculture and tourism. We bring deep experience in web and mobile development, cloud infrastructure, and AI integration, with a reputation for delivering results that last.
​
Southern Software operates on one simple principle: good technology should make life easier, not more complicated.
​
Whether you need a custom platform, want to modernise legacy systems, or are looking for a long-term technical partner, we’ll help you build software that works beautifully and scales confidently.

A simpler way to work — built for Xero’s founder
When Xero Founder, Rod Drury, asked us for a better way to manage his portfolio of projects, we knew there was an opportunity to build something really special. Rod found traditional project management software far too complex. He asked us to build a new app with a ‘lickable’ user interface that would attract users, globally. ​We didn't disappoint, and 6 months later Focus was launched.
Technical know-how
The Southern Software team is made up experts with in-depth knowledge of various programming languages, frameworks, libraries and databases.
